Spicy Steam Sea Bass – Pla Gapong Nueng Manao – ปลากะพงนึ่งมะนาว

This Spicy Steam Fish is very easy to make. This Sea Bass meat is white, juicy and soft. It’s perfect for steaming in my opinion. I like the spicy lime sauce with coriander that gives the full flavours and aroma. You can adjust the amount of Chilli to your taste and tongue, but the sauce should be a little spicier, so that when we add it to the fish, it will be perfect.
